nes-see that I can get twenty-five cents an acre for said he, summing up his assets. We talked for some time and he impressed me very favor ably. It was finally agreed that he was to pay me $100 down and S75 every six months until the debt was paid. I told him that he would have to pro- vide his own clothes and board while in port. On the river he would re- ceive his board and lodging free. He started in as cub on the "Aleck Scott" and he learned rapidly. He was then just past twenty -one and rather eccen- tric. He always had writing paper and pencil around the pilot-house and was eternally scribbling away at something. I seldom ever tried to in- vestigate the mysteries of his manu- script, but 1 soon turned his talent to to good account. In those days pi- lots made out reports of the condition of the channel, and Clemens at once developed into a brilliant and pictur- esque river reporter. His reports were humorous and contained all the information, and were frequently cop jed into the papers just as he wrote them. This, think, was the first public writing that he did, except, perhaps some squibs for the Hannibal paper. He was good boy, not ad- dicted to dissipation, and obeyed or ders. He hated suspenders, and used to enjoy himself in very loose clothes with hic hn;, br1cboI hoo1r Uyo steered together on many trips, and then he changed around and in two years received a license that made him a full fledged pilot. His first boat was the "Alonzo Child" under Capt. ain De Haven, and he kept turning the wheel until the war broke out His boat was then in the south, and he piloted three months for the Con- federacy. Then he got through the lines and went home, but after a short stay at Hannibal he went as a volunteer for three months in the army of General Sterling Price, the Missouri Confederate. He fought for the Confederacy three months on land and then retreated in good order with his right resting on St. Louis His brother, Orrin Clemens, was al that time nominated secretary of the Territory of Nevada, and Sam accom- panied him west. Everybody knows the rest"
 Three years ago Clemens accompa- nied Captain Bixby down the river and the old stories and glories were revived. The result of the trip wa, the book "Old Times on the Missis- sippi."

Cooling Of All the Time. Duluth Paragrapher.

Old-time idea of the place of pun ishment: A dark and awful abyss oi seething, molten liquid, with thou sand slimy and fiery tongues reaching out in glee for their shuddering and wretched victim.
 A little later: A place lined with the bones of the wicked. Liquid cool ing off, but still bubbling. No lights,
 Next generation: A place of re- morse and retribution. Pleasant sur roundings. Navigation open but no fire. Papers burning.
 Still later: Anante- room in which to throw off ones earthly garments Plate glass windows and skylight Good music and refreshments. All invited.
 Very modern: Cold air draft Everything on ice. Upholstered fur niture. Good kindergarten for the children. No board bills. Bright fu- ture.

WE would be pleased to know of a man or woman who has never had headache or been subject to constipa- tion. AS these seem to be universal troubles, a little advice may be in or der. Why should persons cram their stomachs with nauseating purgative pills, etc., which sicken and debilitate when such pleasant and sterling remedy as Prickly Ash Bitters will act mildly and effectively on the liver kidney, stomach and bowels, and at the same time tone up and strengthen the whole system, causing headache constipation and all such distressing evils to quickly disappear?

A GARDEN DRAMA.
BY FELIX GRAY.

 The peach shakes all her gray green leaves, And whispers the orange over the wall; But the sullen fig in silence grieves, And lets her fair, broad mantle fall, And shrivel into brown decay, Leaving her twisted arms all bare. Only the myrtle has heart to be gay, And crimp her red ru1llcs with spring-time
 care.
 The sturdy cannas their banners unfurl, And pampa grass comes with lance and
 sword,
 Leading with insolent rustic and whirl The riotous march of a vandal horde. Where the pansies held their merry rout In doublet of velvet and silken mask, The chick. weeds squinting eyes peer out; And the purslane's lazzar0ni bask Where sweet peas spread their painted sails For the grand regatta of butterflies Sailing and sailing, with OdOrs for gales, And a silver-cup, dew gemmed, for prize. One golden lily mods in her place Where legion of stately sisters stood, And one white rose, with an angel face, Smiles in the shade of her emerald hood. The voice of the thunder giving command! The flash of fiery rod that smites The gray cloud-tower-and straight on the Down rushes a troop of ocean -sprites. Down, down with d shout of sea born laugh And batter of crystal .shod feet they run Flying in haste from the wind that flies after And the far reaching arm of the ogre sun. The giddy peach seems drunken with wine, The myrtle laughs, tho her rutiles are rent But the fig, still sullen, gives no sign, For nothing can heal her discomfort. But the lily it is the sprites love best, And deck with their choicest bervl and
 pearl
 The lily, who stands with naughty crest, That would not bow to a belted earl. The white rose, swayng On pliant stem, In her emerald shade, smiles on serene; On her perfumcd breast-is it tear or gem That glimmers with modest, maidenl y
 sheen?

This farm consists Of 1000 acres, and
is located in Islip, on Great South

sixty bells in the entire mansion.
Two thousand yards Of wire have

alarm, dingling bell rapidly.
Other bells are for ordi-
nary purposes. The FIRE alarm
includes thermostat, lately
perfected, which shows delicate SEN
sitiveness. 1t has been found impos-
sible heretofore TO come within less
than degree Of the exact amount OF
heat, but this machine indicates TO
within an eighth Of adegree. II is
set at ITO degrees: When the heat
Of room reaches that point an alarm
is given. The thermostat is made Of
steel and copper soldered together
with silver. II will bend 100 de-
grees with heat and resume its nor
NAL condition when the heat is with
drawn. II contracts within three
inches piece Of the prepared metal
fourteen inches long.

charge Of an agent, Mr.. Willis. Dur
ing Mr.. Vanderbilt's trip the man
sion is TO be entirely romodeled. A
regular English gate lodge will be
added. IL will be the grandest in the
country. The mansion is very clab-
crate. The main hall is forty feet
wide. The stairway is sixteen feet
wide. Both hall and stairway are in
English oak. The library is in ebo-
ny, the dining room in mahogany and
rosewood, the breakfast room in
French style with q fountain In 40
alcove. All the floors are in hard
wood. The kitchen is in Georgia
pine, with elaborate arrangement OF
ranges. There are more than sixty
rooms in the house, and all are capa-
cious.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is spending $3.50,
600 in making an island. A channel
is being cut, which will be supplied
with water from Great South bay
The dirt dug from the channel Il
used TO elevate the island. Durins
| Mr.. Vanderbilt's absence the green
houses are to DO run 10 their fullest
capacity. The flowers will be sold
at store, TO be opened October ls
on West Rorty-second street, neal
Fifth avenue. IL will be called th,
